Regional context

We need the greatest talent focused on our region in order to harness the potential and innovation happening across the continent. The East Asia and the Pacific Region (EAP) has made the fastest progress in economic growth and poverty reduction of any region in the last quarter-century 

Despite this progress, the EAP region still faces huge development challenges. A large portion of the region's population remains vulnerable to income shocks, including from a global economic slowdown, changing global and regional value-chains, and climate-related risks. 

EAP was the first region to be hit by the COVID-19 pandemic which has provoked both an unprecedented health crisis and a severe economic shock in the region. Poverty in our region is expected to rise for the first time in over 4 decades. 

Are you ready to make an impact? We are looking for dedicated professionals to join our innovative and diverse team to improve people's lives and help countries build back better after COVID
